allergen extracts for allergy testing

Good Morning,

Curious as to how everyone manages allergens and controls at their institution? Everywhere I've worked they seem to be handled a little different. Should these be considered drugs and subsequently ordered, inventoried, dispensed from pharmacy or do you not consider them drugs and the allergy department manages it themselves. To be specific, we are not talking penicillin skin testing. I'm inquiring about aeroallergens (dust mite mix), animal epithelia, fungi, tree pollen etc in small 5 ml vials.

Thanks,
Dachelle
